This week I had the honor of capturing the very talented singer/songwriter Jay. Jay hired me to take some artistic band photos for a website he is building to start promoting his music. The location I booked for this session was stellar. If you are ever in need of a daylight studio in Chicago, contact DWP Studio and they will hook you up. Jay brought a handful of outfits and he basically just jammed while I snapped away. All in all it was an awesome collaborative shoot.

I had the pleasure of taking family portraits for Stacy and her husband earlier this month. Stacy had found me through my website after what she called "intense google photographer stalking." She was so happy to find my website and see that I had reasonable prices for the quality she was looking for, which is what Kelsey Jorissen Photography is all about! Stacy and her husband have four adorable little rug rats. These kids were so full of energy that it was easy to get them to send me a good smile. I brought along my three apple boxes for everyone to sit on. With this in between spring and winter weather, you never know how damp the ground is going to be. In order to not have any wet butts we used the apple boxes to sit on, plus the boxes add a little rustic charm! I have to admit that little Vivian was my favorite. She had the cutest little cheeks and it took next to nothing to get these gorgeous smiles from her. Stacy was so pleased with her family portraits that she booked me for Vivian's 1st birthday portraits. We all had such a good time and I can't wait to photograph for the Bodsbergs again!
